Have you ever wanted to buy a game on Steam but didn't know if it was good? Have you ever had just enough money for an indie game but didn't know whether it was worth buying? Have you ever asked yourself, "Should I buy this game?"

Then you're in luck. Here, you can ask others questions about any game on Steam or any other game on any console, whether it is about the graphics, the plot, the game play, or even the length.

No spoilers without a warning. Spoilers include, and are not limited to, revealing something about the plot late in the game or explaining an important plot point.

Fallout:NV hands down for me. That game was the game that took me from being able to play a game every few months and being a mostly casual gamer otherwise to really sitting down and spending hours and hours a day on it. I think by the end I had clocked 145 hours in it. The longest game I had ever played before then was probably Mario 64. It really opened my eyes as to how vast and engaging a videogame world could be. The game has great characters, amazing environments, a good sense of humor, some great combat/weapons, the RPG elements in it are great, and the map and scale of the game is huge. The downsides for me are the story and that it is buggy as all hell. The game froze on me about 2 times per day (PS3 version) and the story is only okay as some of the storylines seem half-baked (Caesars part) but the game is amazing. You really do play differently depending on how you make your character. I put a heavy emphasis on my speech so I was able to talk my way into/out of a lot of situations when I needed to. Some put an emphasis on stealth so they don't even get in those situations in the first place. The DLC is great too. I loved every single one and every single one feels like DLC and not something that could have otherwise been in the game. Dead Money kind of takes a stealth/survival horor angle to it, Honest Hearts is beautiful and is worth it just for the landscapes, Old World Blues is hilarious and awesome, and Lonesome Road gives some nice background on the game. So one very very strong vote for Fallout:NV

I would throw my vote into the New Vegas ring as well. I usually don't buy games at full price but after playing and loving fallout 3 I pre-ordered New Vegas.

If you've played or were even interested in Fallout 3 then this is more of the same, albiet in a different area with a different story. There are more weapons, which I enjoyed more then Fallout 3's arsenal. The story was alright, after a year or so I barely remember what it was about, but it did a good enough job of shepherding you through the wasteland and putting you in areas where you can get other side quests and see other cool stuff. The story is also has a few different options that leave the game open to some replayability. The best part of the game is the vast array of quests and areas to explore. There's tons of cave to wad through, different companions to enlist, tons of side quests (which I enjoyed quiet a bit!), etc.

The only major problem I had with the game was that there were so many bugs. On the 360 if I had played for too long then the games load times would become unbearable and I would have to restart my xbox. One of the paths in the main quest (the one i was actively perusing) broke, my last save with it fixed was very far back, so I was forced to choose a different option.

In short, New Vegas is a great buy, it's more, but a little bit better, of the fallout gameplay with a nice style and awesome side quests. Be warned, at launch it was a buggy mess and I've read that it still is.

Both are very fun, but Fallout: New Vegas definitely has a much longer lasting appeal. Mainly because it has a story, DLCs with more story, tons of mods you can play, and so on. Chivalry is great and all, but you can only play multiplayer matches on the same three or four maps so many times before it gets old.

Although they are very different games (understatement) I'll throw some positives for C:MW. Very fun game, it's all about the gameplay mechanics. If multiplayers your thing, and competition, C:MW has definitely got it. There are weapon unlocks ala COD/BF but each weapon is definitely unique. I can see myself playing this game for years (like I did with Mount & Blade: Warband) just because I love going into the arena and duking it out.

Fallout: New Vegas. Chivalry is just a multiplayer game that in my opinion lacks a bit - it was bugged as hell when I bought it, and also after playing one round I had no motivation whatsoever to play another one. It is fun don't get me wrong, but for few hours, then it will just sit on your Steam shelf and that's it.

Fallout on the other hand will surely make you want to play the game. The story is good, game is polished, offers many playthroughs, there's plenty of mods. No-brainer for me.

Well they're both completely different games. NV obviously has more long lasting appeal because it's a huge game with extended DLC content and thousands of mods to keep you busy for years to come.

Chivalry is an excellent multiplayer medieval combat game. The combat system is deep and rewarding. You can get the hang of it fairly quickly but will never feel like you've mastered it. While the game is incredibly fun it's a bit light on features and still has its fair share of bugs and server issues. However the developers are still actively working on it and have plans to add more features in the future.

I would say get both but for now get the one you think you will get more enjoyment out of. NV for deep single player and Chivalry for multiplayer. I personally think you will put more hours into NV as chivalry has no single player besides bot matches.

I would definitely agree that Fallout:NV is going to be way more fun in the long run. Unless you have a small, dedicated group of friends who will all be playing Chivalry together I think Fallout wins in a landslide. Not only does the game have a ton of content, there are an insane amount of mods out there that can really increase the fun (if you're playing on PC, of course).
